Cars to cost more as raw material prices soar

Cars are likely to cost more with rising raw material prices

Passenger cars are set to
become costlier with car manufacturers mulling to hike prices by 2-3 per cent
anytime in April. This is to counter the impact of rising costs of inputs which
has hit the bottomline of all auto Companies.

If the hike is
implemented, it would be in the range of Rs. 5,000- 35,000 depending on the
model. According to industry estimates, prices of steel have gone up by 27 per
cent between January and April 2008.

As reported by Financial
Express, Arvind Jain, investment officer, BanyanTree Finance said, "A price
hike of 2 - 2.5 per cent is inevitable as the bottomline of major manufacturers
is expected to be affected by around 3 per cent for the year ending March 31.
However, the process may be in phases as Companies are set to renew their
long-term contracts with effect from April 1 for steel and other raw material
that go into making a vehicle."

The impact on the
bottomline could have been worse, anything around 8 per cent, had it not been
for reduction in excise duty and huge investment on research and development
(R&D) by major auto manufacturers to lower input costs, added Jain.

Firms like Maruti Suzuki
India Ltd and Tata Motors have been investing huge amount in R&D to bring
down the overall cost by 1-1.5 per cent as it would help neutralise the impact
of rising prices to a small extent.

While Tata Motors has
already hiked the prices of its commercial vehicles and Mahindra Renault has
raised the price of its mid-size car, Logan.
